Sunlit rocky hill under a clear blue sky, with a single pale boulder perched near the peak like a balancing stone.

Dramatically darkened b&w image of a boulder field on cracked clay ground. The rocks are mottled and smooth. The ridgeline at the horizon undulates, with one prominence at center right almost peak-like. The sky is dark, streaked with white clouds that seem to emanate from a center point.
Boulder field: Bisti badlands, NW New Mexico

My own naming of geological formations in the Bisti Wilderness...1) The Turtle Pond 2) The Space Needle 3) Mushroom Forest 4) The Flying Saucers #nature #bisti #newmexico
75 million years ago, the Bisti Badlands were located along the edge of an inland ocean, comprised of rivers, floodplains and marshes. Today, the Bisti is a unique landscape of hoodos, pinnacles and petrified wood, eroded by rain and wind. A truely out of this world experience. #nature #bisti
A chunky hoodoo-like rock formation tilted way over on its side, with the caprock still hanging on above the siltstone base. It sits on a mudstone pedestal on sloping terrain, with eroded and deeply etched cliffs behind. The sky is mostly clear with streaks of fair weather clouds.
Held up by force of will: #Bisti badlands, NW #NewMexico

The arch of the Milky Way soars over hoodoos. We’re standing in and among hoodoos, which rise beside and before us. These hoodoos vary from a few feet tall to well over 40 feet. We’re actually standing on top of a hoodoo to give us a little more perspective. There’s a wide open area that leads from left to right, and on the right side it turns and heads deeper into the wilderness. The path is white rock, which many people mistake for snow. That’s easy to do because it’s night. The hoodoos are generally white with a reddish-colored rock, a cap rock, on top. So, the foreground is mostly white with some red-colored right. The highlight is the Milky Way. The Milky Way’s core is at the right, and the arch goes from right to left. There’s some airglow, which provides some yellow and green coloration at the horizon. You can faintly see Barnard’s Loop at the top right, but only if you squint. At the left, the arch heads into white light. This is light pollution from the drilling rigs and is completely impossible to avoid. The best you can do is minimize it, and even that is exceptionally difficult to do.

The stars light our way. Onward, we go.

Under a blue sky with wispy clouds we see a natural arch composed of dark, iron-hued rock sitting atop a lighter whitish mudstone. At left a large ironstone boulder rests on an eroded pillar of mudstone. Below it are another pair of large ironstone boulders that have fallen from their supports. In the center of the window we see a view of a distant mesa.
Window out of time: Bisti badlands, NW New Mexico, 2017. This formation collapsed in 2020.

Layers of eroding hillsides are on display, with alternating sedimentary bands and an oddly shaped, white-toned rock formation peering over the top of the highest hill. This feature can be imagined as an anthropomorphic character making a statement from its high perch. The darkened sky is streaked with clouds.
Desert deity barks a pronouncement.

"Strange Land" is an apt term for the Bisti Badlands, the De-Na-Zin Wilderness of northern New Mexico. Bizarre rock formations and fast-eroding mudstone in this section produce images that resemble mutant eggs on crumbling thrones....or something like that. #newmexico #bisti #denazin #wilderness

"Sunset at Bisti Badlands" -- Even the badlands are good. This site in New Mexico, more formally named the De-Na-Zin Wilderness, is surrounded by the Navajo Nation. I call it the "Egg Garden". A cold nighttime hike to camp lies ahead of me. #newmexico #bisti #desert #sky #sunset
